The XPRT is the only Android phone that's ever made it through, and that was touted with the same "enterprise-class security", so this new one may make it.
I spoke too soon. The S3 is touted to have the same “enterprise-friendly” SAFE certification as the Relay 4G. To paraphrase our security lead - "We have shared our concerns with Samsung, they have told us they will address it, and to date they have failed miserably" and he rattled off a list of security issues, along with other enterprise customers in the same boat.

So, I'm no longer optimistic about this phone making it. My guys are validating the iOS6 final release and the 5 right now - I'll be ordering as soon as they (I assume) OK it. Sadly, it appears I'll be waiting for over a month for it to arrive, as my BB continues to deteriorate.
